Indie developers will not be able to self-publish their games on Xbox Live Arcade. Indie developers will instead have to obtain a publishing deal with either Microsoft Game Studios or with a third-party partner.
Both Sony and Nintendo allow developers to publish their own games onto PlayStation Network and Nintendo Network so Microsoft will be the odd man out.
